The drone warfare landscape in Ukraine and Russia has evolved rapidly, with fiber optic drones emerging as a game-changer due to their anti-jamming capabilities and stable data transmission. At GL FIBER, we leverage our 21 years of expertise to provide cutting-edge optical fiber solutions tailored for military and commercial drone applications. Our products, including G657A2 fibers, bare fibers, and fiber optic spools, are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern warfare and industrial use.
Why Fiber Optic Drones? Key Advantages
Anti-Jamming Performance:
Unlike radio-frequency drones, fiber fpv drones transmit data through physical cables, making them immune to electronic warfare (EW) interference. This is critical in conflict zones like Ukraine, where EW systems are densely deployed.
Long-Range & High-Speed Data Transmission:
Our optical fiber spools enable drones to operate at ranges up to 20-35 km while maintaining real-time HD video feedback and control signals. For instance, Russia’s drones now exceed 35 km ranges using advanced fiber spools.
Enhanced Stealth & Reliability:
Fiber drones emit no radio signals, avoiding detection by radar or passive sensors. This allows covert operations in high-risk areas.
GL FIBER’s Product Portfolio for Drone Applications
Our products are designed to address the core challenges of fiber drone technology:
G657A2 Bare Fiber: Ideal for lightweight, high-flexibility drone systems. Its bend-insensitive properties ensure durability during aggressive maneuvers.
Fiber Optic Spools: Customizable spools with capacities up to 50 km, featuring anti-stretch reinforcement layers for smooth cable deployment.
Drone-Specific Cables: Ultra-lightweight designs (<0.5mm diameter) to minimize payload impact while maximizing range and transmission quality.

Market Trends & Opportunities
Explosive Demand in Conflict Zones:
Ukraine plans to allocate $10 billion for drone procurement in 2025, including fiber-optic models7. Russia has scaled production to 60,000 fiber spools monthly to meet frontline needs.
Commercial Applications:
Beyond military use, fiber drones are vital for emergency response, infrastructure inspection, and secure communications in GPS-denied environments.
Supply Chain Gaps:
Over 95% of fiber drone components in Ukraine rely on Chinese suppliers, highlighting opportunities for certified manufacturers like GL FIBER.
